Tips and Notes
Mt. Katherine (also written as Mt. Katherina or Jebel Katrina) is the highest peak in Egypt, and a popular trekking destination. People who climb in the area should be aware that it can get extremly cold on the summit in winter. Good hiking boots, warm clothes and sleeping bag are essential for trekking. The climb is not difficult but long and steep, suitable for any fit hiker. For those who want to engage in more serious rock climbing and trekking, there are other suitable mountains and routes. Sinai is the best mountaineering area in Egypt, but climbers have to have their own mountaineering equipment. More easy-going trekking and hiking activities do not require special mountaineering gear.
